One of the best Christmas presents that I have ever got is...my wonderful son, Nate. He arrived just in time for the holidays! Nothing beats spending time with your loved ones, right? Lucky for us this year, we get to have both Ali and Nate to celebrate Christmas with! And you can't ask for better companions than these two!
On Christmas Eve, we spent time with my husband's family. This year, we decide to take it easy and go out to eat.
After dinner, Ali opened her xmas gift from goo ma and goo cheung. She is SUPER excited to get a camera for xmas!!! She wouldn't let go of her camera the whole time.
Great-grand went over to our house and gave Ali her xmas present. Ali returned the favor by giving her a big kiss on the cheek! Thank you great-grand!
And of course grandma has a gift for Ali too!
Por por got her a medical exam kit. Silly mommy forgot about Ali's 2-year old check up until a few weeks ago and since that visit (and a few more that we went for Nate's check ups), Ali has been fascinated with doctors. She would pretend to be doctor and we are forced to be her patients. LOL. She is super excited to open to see that she got the doctor kit from her por por!
And as a really special treat, we had our neighbour dressed up as Santa this year. Ali told Santa earlier that she wanted a bag (just like mommy's) for Christmas, so Santa came all the way from North Pole to deliver her present! Unfortunately, instead of a big warm welcome hug, Ali started crying as soon as Santa walked in!
After a few minutes, Ali finally warmed up a bit and willing to sit close to Santa (but has to be on mommy's lap). It is really cute to see her super excited and nervous about getting the gift from Santa. I think Santa is the only person that would make her nervous. Sometimes, she gets all shy and would not say anything at all. But when Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she said in a quick and excited voice, "A bag", and she would hide in my arms again. And when Santa asked if she has been a good girl, she would nod her head fervently. SO CUTE!!!!!
The Lams with Santa Ernie:
When Ali was finally asleep, hubby and I had to sort through a sea of gifts. There are so many xmas presents!! Our kids are super spoiled! After we went through some of them, she was allowed to open (just the packaging paper) half of them and we put them underneath the tree for her to look at the next morning.
Our family wishes you and your family the absolute best this holiday season! We hope your Christmas was just as fun and exciting as ours! Merry Christmas!
